What's your single most memerable event from 2005?

It could either be good or bad.

My son was diagnosed with AS. What can be so memorable about that? It explains a lot of why he acts the way he does so now I know what route to take in his upbringing.

This was the year for a rather ugly regimen of medical treatments, and tests, and whatever. The "highlight" was being hospitalized for four days in March when one of my cats bit me, and infection raged. I haven't been able to work since October because of headaches and dizziness, probably from the treatment, but they have not figured it out yet.

On a bright note, a friend and I bought and restored our first CHP cruiser for shows and parades...

See it here...

Hopefully, 2006 will be better!
